The HarmOnists.

Sixteen miles below Pittsburg, Pa.
in the broad and fertile valley of the
Ohio, stands the village of Economy.
1t is strengthening place, with its
wide, straight streets, its queerly-built
houses, its beautiful gardens and quaint
public buildings. The houses are all
built after one pattern, of either brick
or wood, and have no entrances on the
sides fronting the streets. Each house
has but one outside door, and that
opens on an enclosed yard Nearly all
the houses are covered with grape-vines,
trellised on the sides from the ground
to the caves. The streets and houses
are lighted now with natural gas, and
the village at night presents a very
weird appearance with flaming torches
lining the avenues and throwing a bril-
liant glare on the sky. The site of the
village is one of the most beautiful in
the valley of the Ohio. Thousands and
thousands of acres of rich meadow
land stretch away on every side from
the village, and vineyards and orchards
of apples and peaches press close to
the town. The village and all the land
for miles around it is owned and con-
trolled by the Harmonists, religious
society founded by George Rapp, a
German enthusiast, in the early part of
the century. The Harmonists are cell
bates and all their property is held in
common. They originally numbered
about thousand souls, but they have
dwindled away to a feeble remnant,
only about thirty members now being
left. They have always borne the
name of an honest, industrious and
virtuous people, and in the practice of
strict economy and rigid self-denial
have accumulated vast wealth. Besides
their property at Economy they own
coal mines, iron foundries and glass
factories in other places and have large
sums invested in railroads and other
enterprises. AS they are adding nc
new members and all the surviving
Harmonists are aged men and women
the end of all must come soon. And
then the question is, Who will inherit
all these lands and treasures of stocks
and bonds?-Erchange.

At Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is the Washington of Scot
land. 1t is beautiful city, all of stone
classic, delightful, with magnificent
public buildings, places of historic in
terest, monuments, everywhere broad
and spacious streets. All tourists are de-
lighted with Edinburgh. Here, how
ever, extremes are strong. You shall
see culture, wealth, dignity, courtli-
ness. You shall see also degradation
poverty and vice. The sight which
seemed strangest to us here were the
fishmongers, women of immense physi-
cal build and strength, who bring into
the city and sell the fish which their
husbands catch. They carry strapped
upon the back a basket of fish weighing
from two hundred to three hundred
pounds, and the weight is borne largely
by the forehead, by means of thick
strap, some two inches in width,
attached to the basket and drawing
down pretty tightly upon the head.
These women look as strong as giants.
The boots that they wear, put along
side of some | have seen, looking more
like Chinese than anything else, even
upon the feet of American women,
would make striking contrast. Ho-
tells are good, but the management seems
queer to an American. Instead of so
much day for all charges it is divided
into separate items, and the shillings
and the pence confuse and amuse you.
AT most hotels shilling-twenty-four
cents-a day is charged for service OF
servants whether you will or no. AT
EnOch's GLASGOW we were CHARGED a
penny each for finger napkins. That
is nice hotel, however. But what
tries the American most is the un-
changeable and contented slowness OF
the Scottish walters. They are men.
Why the Yankee girls would go to the
market, buy your stock, cook it and
bring it to you steaming hot before
these lazy fellows will serve you with
the goods already at hand.-Cor. La,o-
renee american.

Monkeys as LabOrers.

Revolutions, it is commonly believed,
never go backward But how about
evolution? Can it ever be downward
instead of upward? This question is
suggested by bit Of highly interesting
news which comes from Brazil by way
of Panama. 1t is that on farm where
hemp is raised seven large monkeys
have been taught to handle this product
of the soil with surprisingly good re-
suits. They not only work more rapidly
than negroes, but they eat less. The
discovery that monkeys can do work
that heretofore men alone have been
deemed competent for has important
bearings in various directions. 1t GER
tainly is of interest to scientists, who
no doubt will gravely discuss whether
the monkey is gradually ascending to
the plane of man or man descending to
the level of the monkey. Then who
can tell what influences may be eXerted
by this Brazilian experiment upon the
problem of labor? If monkeys can
pull hemp, why can they not carry hods
and drive street-cars? Indeed, can any
limit be set to the potentialities that
are in them? One thing is certain-if
the employment of these creatures be-
comes general strikes must go out of
fashion.-Iribume.

A Lesson in Discipline.

On the train crossing the Rocky
Mountains l heard teamster tell about
a mother bear and her cub, giving a
good example to human mothers in
family government. This man was
going up the mountain for pine logs,
driving a wagon. On the top of a
large rock by the side of the road was
young bear, the mother having started
up the mountain on the approach of
the team. "The cub looked so cute"
said the teamster, "lying there with its
paws dropped over the edge of the
rock, watching the horses as they came
up. Presently the old bear came bound
ing back to the cub, and, giving her
a nudge with her nose, started up the
mountain again, expecting the young
one to follow. But the cub made no
move. The old bear then came back
the second time, and taking up the cub
in her arms, gave him several cuffs.
This time the cub obeyed orders and
followed the old bear in gallop up the
side of the mountain. "-Erchdnge.

/" Dead Heads"

1T is notorious" says DR.. T. L.
Cuyler, " that thousands claim to be
regular and loyal members of our
churches who rarely respond to any of
the calls to social worship or spiritual
work. They would make prodigious
cutlery if their names were dropped
from the church register, or if they
were debarred from voting at con-
tested election, or if, when poverty
overtakes them, they were ignored by
the church deacons. But practically
they are dead-heads,' and their tie to
the flock of Christ is as brittle as a cot
ton thread. Why? The real secret,
we suspect, is that their tie to the Lord
Jesus himself is about as brittle and
worthless. Having no deep soul-root
into him, they cannot grow; having no
specific pasturage, they are not fed;
having no marked and defined province
or post of Christian activity, they be-
come as homeless as tramps and as I'M
productive as weeds. If the pastors
heart aches when he sees them, what
must the Master think of them? Sol
EMMY ought every church member to
face this question:: Will the Lord, to
whom | made my VOW, actually receive
me when | present myself for admis-
sion to heaven? Some, it is to be
feared, will awake to the sad reality
that their lamps are gone out and they
have no oil when it is too late"

Obsolete Views.

There is a curious contrast between
the spirit of the educated young women
of the day who are entering into the
worlds activities in various directions
and the spirit of women who made
more or less successful attempts in this
direction quarter of century ago.
The timidity and weak complaints of
some of the latter are in striking con-
trast to the brilliant courage and Joy
in achievement in the former, The
woman who publicly complains of be-
ing kept at the Z" back door" of any
profession or calling is probably unable
to command any better entrance than
the back door. The lack of delicacy
and dignity of such absurd assertions
are typical of the class of women who
make them. Nothing is so undigni-
fled and so unwomanly as complaints
And in this age there is nothing in the
world for woman to complain about
The tools are to them who can handle
them. The limitation of individual
